...-Behnken Design before using it with nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were synthesized by sol gel technique and applied to the fabric by pad-dry-cure method. The treated samples were evaluated for functional properties such as self-cleaning, antibacterial and ultraviolet (UV) protection properties...

...Zhenrong Zheng; Zhenya Gu; Ruiting Huo; Yonghong Ye Self-cleaning surfaces have received a great deal of attention recently, both in theoretical studies and commercial applications. Lotus flowers are a symbol of purity in Asian cultures; even though they grow in muddy waters, they remain clean...

...Ali Nazari; Shahab Torabian; Majid Montazer; Mohammad Bameni Moghadam; Mohammad Shahvaziyan In this study, self-cleaning properties are introduced to acrylic carpet through a simple method of spraying nano titanium dioxide (NTO) onto the carpet surface. A cross-linkable polysiloxane (PS) softener...

...E.M. El-Khatib The present article review is pertaining to recent developments in antimicrobial and self-cleaning textiles using nanotechnology. Nanosized metal and metal oxide particles in single use or aided by other means are emphasized as versatile tools to achieve such properties. Mechanisms...

...Wing Sze Tung; Walid A. Daoud Self-cleaning fabrics have aroused attention in recent years by showing great potential in changing our life style to a more environmental friendly way. Although efforts have been devolved to boost the efficiency of photocatalytic self-cleaning functions, there have...

... carried out by exposing the coffee stained samples to solar light. The self-cleaning leading to stain discolouration was quantified from the residual concentration of stain to assess the photoactivity of TiO₂ and ZnO nanoparticles. An attempt was also made to study the effect of concentration...
